Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 large kohlrabi, peeled and grated
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the kohlrabi by washing thoroughly and peeling the tough outer skin using a vegetable peeler. Grate the kohlrabi using a box grater or food processor, creating fine, uniform shreds.
- Place the grated kohlrabi in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture. This step is crucial to ensure crispy fritters that aren't watery.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated kohlrabi, egg, flour, and salt. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly incorporated and form a cohesive batter.
- Heat a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat. Add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan with about 1/4 inch depth.
- Once the oil is hot (around 350°F), drop spoonfuls of the kohlrabi mixture into the pan, gently pressing them down to form flat fritters.
- Fry the fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
- Remove the fritters using a slotted spatula and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- While the fritters are cooling, slice the avocado into thin, elegant pieces.
- Serve the hot fritters immediately, topped with fresh avocado slices. Optional: garnish with fresh herbs like chives or parsley for added flavor.
Tips
- Get the Right Texture: To achieve perfectly crispy fritters, make sure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the grated kohlrabi. This step is essential for preventing sogginess!
- Oil Temperature Matters: Before adding the fritters to the pan, ensure the oil is hot enough (around 350°F). This will help create a golden crust while keeping the inside tender.
- Avoid Overcrowding: Fry the fritters in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. This ensures that they cook evenly and achieve that perfect crispiness.
- Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to add spices or herbs to the batter, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or fresh herbs, to give your fritters an extra flavor boost.
- Serve Fresh: These fritters are best served hot and fresh. Top them with avocado slices just before serving to maintain their creamy texture.
